Psychological Control

In the end Chris left in the wee hours of the morning, before dawn.He even stubbornly refused to let me send it.

But at least I know that apart from David's accident, there are no dangerous people around here.The law and order in the small town is also good.Otherwise, I really dare not let him leave alone like this.

Unlike many pathological sociopaths, I'm actually not interested in destroying the good things in the world.If Dexter is only looking at the bad guys who escaped the law because of the principles established by Harry Morgan.Then I have to proudly say that I still have the moral code of a normal person in my heart.

It might be funny to say that a sociopath has a moral code, but after what happened with David, I really thought I was saved.At least not to the point of being morbid to the point where I would find it annoying myself.

And Chris?He also experienced the pain, darkness, and shadows that life caused, but his psychology was cleaner than mine, which was affected by Brian's personality traits.It was so clean that I couldn't bear to get any closer.

I ended up not lying to him either.I really can't date a regular boyfriend, because of the influence of Brian's personality, if I date him now, it is estimated that the relationship will not last long.Because now I am too selfish and don't care about anything, how can I maintain the relationship between the two?

That kind of bad situation, I really don't want to try.

Using Chris to try to break through the shadow of my heart made me feel strangely guilty towards him.But soon enough, the part that belonged to Brian convinced me to stop caring.

I refocused my energy on my studies and the modeling jobs I usually received.During this period of time, Chris did not contact me again.It was as if he had suddenly disappeared from my life.

Not long after, during my first semester break at Stanford, a letter from Survivor arrived.I passed their primary selection, and I'm still going through another interview, and I can make a decision.

I bought another plane ticket to New York, simply packed my luggage for a few days, and set off again.

At a quarter past twelve noon, it took me only two hours to get out of the New York airport, and I dropped off my luggage and packed myself in a remote but cheap hotel I saw in advance.

Immediately afterwards, it was time for the pre-appointed interview at [-]:[-] pm.It didn't take long, the interviewer seemed to be notified in time slots, and it was my turn after five people arrived at the place.

"Hello, please sit down." There were four people sitting in the interview room, and the only woman among them waved her hand in a gesture of please and said. "Is your name Brian?"

When I entered this room, I glanced at the four people in the room with casual eyes.The woman who spoke was dressed in a strong and professional way, but if she spoke first, it meant that if she was not too strong in controlling the overall situation, she was the one with the lowest status among the four, presiding over the scene.

The man on the far left I know is the host of Survivor.In fact, he is also the producer of Survivor, and he has a great say in the selection of players.The woman who came over and skipped the opening in turn, a middle-aged man who didn't seem very interested in the interview.I was a little fat, and when I saw me coming in, I didn't look up at the first time, but just flipped through the information in my hand boringly.

It should be the representative of the investor, I thought calmly.Although he doesn't seem interested in the interview, the words that impress him may change other people's minds at once.

After all, the world is the largest investor, and what investors care about most is to get more returns with the least investment.This is a good strategy direction for me, who has participated in reality shows and has a certain popularity advantage.

The last man, I saw a photo of him when I was doing more in-depth research on the Survivor show through the Internet.He is the main director of Survivor and also holds the rights to cut the show.If you want to stop working in vain on the show, but only have a few scenes, apart from your own efforts, it is inevitable to leave a good impression on this person.

"Yes, ma'am." There was a half-salty smile on the corner of my mouth, and I didn't introduce myself too eagerly, nor did I appear to be out of interest.

After all, my interview time was close to off-duty time, which means they at least interviewed a long line of people in front.Except for a small number of survivors who want to have a pure experience and don't expect to win the championship.Most people have the same idea as me, through interviews and competitions, won the championship, won bonuses, and improved their lives.

This means that they must be eager to introduce and prove themselves from the beginning.If it is the beginning of a day's interview, maybe such an eager self-recommendation can leave a big impression on these people, and if you perform well, you may be passed on the spot.But when they have repeatedly behaved in the same way throughout the day, such behavior will make them irritable and bad.

Sure enough, I didn't introduce myself like a cannonball at the beginning, which made the wrinkle between the brows of the woman who opened the mouth loosen a little.The investor representative sitting next to her also looked up at this moment, then his eyes lit up, and he sat up straight.

As a representative of an investor, especially one who invests in this kind of reality show, he naturally knows that in addition to the wonderful program programming, it is very important for the contestants to have one or two eye-catching people.After all, it is the era of looking at faces.

However, in the previous few seasons, one after another of the big beauties has always played the role of seductiveness, and the use of old-fashioned beauty tricks has been criticized.Therefore, this season they want to do something special, especially to get a few more good-looking male contestants.

"Let me introduce myself a little bit. I saw in your bio that you participated in the latest episode of America's Next Top Model. The pre-recorded show just started playing recently, right? Why do you suddenly want to participate again? Where are the survivors?" The woman looked at the file in her hand and said.

Of course, it's to gain familiarity in front of the audience and gain popularity.I blinked, but knew that it was impossible to say what I thought. "At the America's Next Top Model contest, I withdrew halfway due to personal reasons. My original colleague had an accident, and I was forced to withdraw in order to cooperate with the police investigation. This made me lose a very important opportunity to me, and I was not reconciled .”

I said the reason for quitting the competition in a calm tone, lest they misunderstand that I am an irresponsible contestant.After all, the police investigation needs it, and it is a last resort in order to assist in handling the case. No wonder I.

"The reality show Survivor has always been one of my favorite shows. In addition to the theme of survival in the wilderness, the intense schedule of the competition is actually a social game of human intrigue. And now I have just become I found a psychology student at Stanford University who was very interested in such social games.”

I'll start with the survivors themselves. After all, no one doesn't like others to appreciate their own things.What's more, like America's Next Top Model, even the qualifications are different from reality shows.Survivors interview contestants as they interview company employees.If you want to participate in this program, they have to give you this opportunity.

Showing interest in the other company is the most basic aspect of an interview.Immediately afterwards, in a little bit of my own information that I brought out casually, I reflected why I was suitable for participating in the Survivor program.

"The bonus that the last survivor will receive can also greatly ease my financial situation. As an orphan, although I have a stipend from Stanford University, I still have some difficulties in life. If I have the opportunity to participate in this program show, I will definitely do the best I can." At the end, while expressing my determination, there are also some sympathetic words.

At this time, the director sitting next to him suddenly laughed, and said, "It's a model and a psychology student at Stanford University. If he is admitted, I don't know which group to put him in."

The host Jeff also put his hands and elbows on the table, straightened up and said with a smile: "As an orphan who can work so hard on his own, and enter Stanford University, I have to praise a survivor in life. If he If you really participate in the competition, it should be very interesting.”

I watched them discussing alone, their faces did not change at all, and the representative of the investor who was excluded from the discussion was looking at me with interest.

A thought came to my mind, and I suddenly turned my head slightly to meet the other person's gaze, and smiled at him with eyebrows and eyes bent.He seemed kind and cared about his appearance.

The other party subconsciously returned a smile, then turned to look at the three people who were discussing and said, "Why don't we just decide this quota? At least for the most part of the day, he is the best performer I have ever seen." , compared to those blonde girls, one more male model with brains can increase the strength of the beauty group, right?"

I blinked, and when the other three people heard what the investor representative said and looked over, they returned an innocent smile. beauty group?But I was thinking about it in my heart, based on what the director said just now, so I think about it.It seems that the type of grouping this time is no longer the same as before, random grouping, male and female grouping, geographical grouping and the like.

Seems like it might have something to do with beauty and intelligence?After all, what the director said just now is because I am a model and I am a student at Stanford University, so I don't know which group to put me in.

Maybe it was the blessing of my impressive calendar, or maybe the words of the representative of the investor were the last straw that broke the camel's back.Without waiting for me to make any more efforts, my qualifications for the competition were determined by typesetting.

Not long after I left the interview room, I saw the contestants in line behind me being sent out dejectedly.The official shooting of Survivor will start in two months.It happened to be the end-of-semester holiday of the first semester of university, as I expected, and the timing couldn't be more suitable.
